20-1718 EMS GARAGE PLAN – Traditional Craftsman House Plan – 0-Bed, 0-Bath, 0 SF

Traditional Craftsman Single-Car Garage Blueprint

A compact, durable, and timeless garage design featuring classic Craftsman detailing and modern construction-ready plans.

This meticulously designed single-car garage plan blends Traditional Craftsman charm with the clean, restrained geometry of
Classic / Traditional Suburban architecture. Its horizontal lap siding, symmetrical gable roofline, and timeless trim profiles give
it broad appeal—perfect for homeowners seeking a functional yet attractive detached garage option.

Architectural Identity

Though compact in size, this garage presents a refined Craftsman aesthetic. The gable front with centered lighting fixture, clean vertical trim,
and simple shadow lines deliver understated architectural character without overwhelming nearby structures. Its traditional styling ensures it
fits seamlessly in established neighborhoods, Craftsman-era homes, and modern suburban lots alike.

Exterior Materials & Construction Benefits

The exterior showcases horizontal lap siding, a durable and visually stable material choice that reinforces the architecture’s
craftsmanship roots. This material also performs exceptionally well in diverse climates and pairs beautifully with the dark-painted garage doors
seen in the rendering.

• Low-maintenance, long-lasting siding materials
• Gable roofline for efficient water shedding
• Classic Craftsman proportions and detailing

The neutral siding tones shown in the image highlight how well this plan integrates with landscaping, tree canopies, and suburban environments.
Builders can easily adapt paint colors to complement existing homes or HOA requirements.

Interior Function & Garage Layout

Although modest in footprint, this single-car garage is engineered for streamlined utility. Interior space is unobstructed, offering maximum
flexibility for storing a compact car, workshop tools, lawn care equipment, or home hobby materials.

• Wide single-car bay for easy vehicle access
• Unobstructed interior for tool benches or storage shelving
• Front-entry design compatible with narrow or deep lots

This plan is especially well-suited for homeowners with limited lot depth or those wanting a cost-effective detached structure without compromising style.

Outdoor Presence & Landscaping Compatibility

Surrounded by lush hedges and mature tree lines in most suburban settings, this garage enhances curb appeal rather than detracting from it. The
Craftsman gable, combined with neutral siding and balanced proportions, ensures visual harmony with nearly any primary residence.

This structure can serve multiple property types:

• Backyard ADU-support garage (future expansion possible)
• Traditional suburban homes
• Cottages or classic Craftsman homes
• Ranch or bungalow-style lots

Why This Garage Plan Stands Out

Beyond aesthetics, this design prioritizes simplicity and construction efficiency. Straightforward roof geometry, standard framing methods, and
uniform siding application help reduce labor and material costs. These qualities make it ideal for both DIY-oriented homeowners and contractors
who prioritize dependable, repeatable construction.

Included With Your Plan Purchase

• CAD + PDF Files for easy edits, markup, and printing
• Unlimited Build License for repeat construction
• Free Foundation Changes: slab, crawlspace, or basement
• Structural Engineering Included for code compliance
• Lower modification costs compared to competing plan providers

These inclusions make this garage blueprint highly versatile for both homeowners and professionals. Whether you’re storing a vehicle, creating a
compact workshop, or expanding overall property functionality, the plan provides strong value.

Use Cases & Creative Applications

While the design is optimized for a single vehicle, many owners repurpose this footprint for alternative uses:

• Woodworking or metalworking space
• Garden equipment and seasonal storage
• Motorcycle or ATV parking
• Small home workshop
• Backyard hobby shed

Its Craftsman styling ensures it remains visually appealing regardless of how the interior is adapted.

Style Comparison & Design Insight

For those exploring architectural styles, this garage’s Craftsman aesthetic pairs naturally with bungalow, cottage, and suburban homes.
Decorative restraint and natural materials form the core of the style, similar to projects featured on
Houzz, where Craftsman exteriors remain among the most popular nationwide.

A Smart Investment for Any Property

A well-designed detached garage is more than a storage solution—it’s a long-term property upgrade. The clean geometry, premium materials, and
adaptable framing ensure this structure remains useful and visually appealing for decades.
